Thank you for the kind introduction Steven. I look forward to actively
participating on the board by contributing to the voting process. Tom
and I will be splitting responsibilities where I will retain a focus on
Win* and Tom will focus on *nix. This will benefit the CVE by allowing
us to focus on our respective areas of specialization.
Cheers,
Patrick
